Ayatollah Nasser Makarm Shirazi, top Shia scholar, met with the newly appointed head of the Islamic Development Organization, rebuking the extremist groups for misrepresenting Islam and stressed Islam as a religion totally different from what Takfiri groups introduce, reported Taqrib News Agency (TNA).

He referred to enervation of world people with materialism hailing spirituality of religions, particularly Islam, as the solution for the issue.

The cleric stressed accurate introduction of Islam as a key mission for the Islamic Development Organization and called for making the best of the opportunity to promote the holy religion.

Ayatollah Makarem warned of two groups promoting Islamophobia: ignorant people who know nothing of seminary activities and those hostile to religious promotion.
